Application for Industry
The immediate advantages are that Hexa-Cover® covers up to 99% of the container’s total surface (dependent on the geometry of the container). This eliminates up to 95% of evaporation and ensures that the growth of e.g. algae is eliminated since sunlight cannot penetrate the cover. A major and constant reduction of emissions (up to 95%) is achieved while offensive odours are reduced by up to 90%. The floating tiles are very easily installed. Roughly put, they can simply be poured onto the surface and under the effect of the wind and movement of the water will form themselves into a ‘lid’. They are so designed that the tile edges will ‘key’ into each other. There will always be free access to the water, for example for measuring, emptying, stirring etc. There are no running costs attached to the use of Hexa-Cover® floating tiles. In fact, in most situations there will be a reduction of total costs, since water consumption will be reduced and there will be energy savings in connection with cooling and stirring of the liquid, the need to use additives (often harmful) will also be reduced. Furthermore, time and energy resources will not be needed in connection with supervision following e.g. powerful winds. The Hexa-Cover® design, shape and weight mean that the cover can withstand winds of up to 32m/sec. Therefore, in contrast to other solutions, there will be savings connected with repairs to the covering or tarpaulin, since the tiles will themselves recover their correct placing - also in the case of changes in the water level. Hexa-Cover® floating tiles are manufactured from recycled plastic without the use of Freon or other harmful substances; they are favourably priced and have an expected working life of 25 years.
